Promise David Transfer from Union Saint-Gilloise to West Ham United
According to Voetbalnieuws.be, West Ham United has strong and concrete interest in Promise David. The report adds that a multimillion offer from England would be difficult to refuse.
West Ham have noticed the performances of Promise David, who has scored eight league goals and two goals in the Champions League. The club is considering him as a replacement for Niclas Füllkrug, who will leave in January. According to GiveMeSport, West Ham have now made contact to try to arrange the transfer. It is mentioned that the transfer seemed unlikely in recent weeks, as David would not be eager to exchange Champions League football for a relegation battle. Union would expect a very large transfer fee if David leaves.
Talksport confirms that Promise David said no to West Ham. The Union Saint-Gilloise striker does not see any interest in joining West Ham due to the club's difficult situation. The London club is currently 18th in the Premier League and threatened with relegation, and its hopes of recruiting the Nigerian striker have consequently ended. David prefers the prospect of playing in Europe with Union Saint-Gilloise over the sporting uncertainty of the Hammers.
According to reports in the English media, West Ham United has set aside 20 million euros for the transfer of Promise David, which is anticipated to take place in the January transfer window.
TEAMtalk confirms West Ham's interest in the 24-year-old David and understands that the Hammers have the best chance of signing him. It is said that concrete contacts have already been made for a transfer. David is intended to be the replacement for Niclas Füllkrug at the London club, as Füllkrug has indicated that he wants to leave in January. West Ham can pursue David once the German international is sold. A fee of at least €20 million would be required to persuade Union to agree to a transfer, a price that is seen as very reasonable in England.
As West Ham United prepares for the January transfer window, their recruitment team, led by chief scout Max Hahn, has made Canadian and Nigerian striker Promise David a priority target. It has been reported that Hahn presented a shortlist of attacking talents from Belgium to manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and David is a prominent target on that list, having scored 24 goals in 46 appearances for Union Saint-Gilloise since joining in 2024. According to Claret & Hugh, West Ham have made an initial inquiry regarding the 24-year-old's availability. Hahn continues to evaluate other options in the Jupiler Pro League. Union Saint-Gilloise are reluctant to sell the striker, who is contracted until 2029, and West Ham are now considering whether to submit a formal bid when the window opens. This season, David has scored 6 goals in 13 Jupiler Pro League appearances. The forward has 8 caps and 3 goals for Canada. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €13.00m. He has also been linked with VfB Stuttgart.
